Via the comments’ section of this blog from a student at McGill University in Canada and Malik at PakAlert in the US on details of the peace rallies being staged today at Pakistan Consulates in Chicago and Montreal:
People in Montreal are invited to demonstrate this Friday, November 9th in front of the Pakistan General Consulate (Corner Peel and Sherbrooke). In order to demonstrate our solidarity with the lawyers in Pakistan and uphold our commitment to human rights, the rule of law and judicial independence, we are gathering in front of the Consulate General of Pakistan on Peel Street on Friday (9 November). We plan to meet at 1330 in front of the Nahum Gelber Law Library and walk down together. Alternatively you can meet us in front of the Consulate at 3421 Peel Street. We would encourage your support of individuals whose voices are currently being silenced.

And in Chicago:

A silent demonstration will take place in front of the Pakistan Consulate in Chicago today at 1530 on 333 N Michigan Ave, IL 60601. The culture of this non-partisan demonstration is that we will focus on one demand only: the restoration of judicial system. There will be no speeches and no slogans. We will prepare some placards and we do not support or opposed any party in Pakistan.

_{Comment Policy: Moderating comments is a very difficult thing to enforce and we do not like to stop anyone's opinion no matter how bizarre it might be. The general trend of this blog has been that we never censor comments based on political or ideological point of view. But to bring a little sanity in the debate we strongly frown upon comments that are abusive, off-topic, use foul language, resort to racial attacks, use caps-locks, habitual flamers are shown the door especially those commenters who resort to ad hominem attacks are definitely deleted when caught. Simply said, if you can carry a civilized discussion then the floor is open to your hearts desire. But, we still reserve the right to delete any comment that we deem inappropriate without reason}
